Narrative:
I was working departure at fll -- satellite controller from mia handed off cpr X northbound climbing to 4000 (aircraft was aimed at main bang fll radar). I called fll ATCT to stop departures at 2000 because cpr X was slow clber. I had previously initialized a pointout with approach controller at fll to descend air carrier Y swbound to 4000 (a supervisor was working fll approach). The approach controller did not turn air carrier Y southwest but did descend. I pointed out the cpr X to approach controller and told him cpr X climbing to 4000 was going to penetrate main bang. Approach said pointout approved. When checked in I turned him to a 020 heading trying to miss the main bang (out of 3000 for 4000). Entered main bang. At this point I realized separation was in jeopardy. I began issuing traffic to aircraft. (2 or 3 times, no response). I believe aircraft was over main bang. I physically got up, went to approach controller and pointed to scope while I was transmitting to turn right heading 090. Now traffic 11 O'clock turning wbound, your altitude. Finally answered roger 'turning traffic not in sight.' approach was turning aircraft wbound but way to late (separation was maybe 1 mi). Approach controller was most definitely at fault but approach was moderately busy with a supervisor which was current but not proficient at the position.

Title: CPR X HAD LTSS ACR Y. SYS ERROR.
Narrative: I WAS WORKING DEP AT FLL -- SATELLITE CTLR FROM MIA HANDED OFF CPR X NBOUND CLBING TO 4000 (ACFT WAS AIMED AT MAIN BANG FLL RADAR). I CALLED FLL ATCT TO STOP DEPS AT 2000 BECAUSE CPR X WAS SLOW CLBER. I HAD PREVIOUSLY INITIALIZED A POINTOUT WITH APCH CTLR AT FLL TO DSND ACR Y SWBOUND TO 4000 (A SUPVR WAS WORKING FLL APCH). THE APCH CTLR DID NOT TURN ACR Y SW BUT DID DSND. I POINTED OUT THE CPR X TO APCH CTLR AND TOLD HIM CPR X CLBING TO 4000 WAS GOING TO PENETRATE MAIN BANG. APCH SAID POINTOUT APPROVED. WHEN CHKED IN I TURNED HIM TO A 020 HDG TRYING TO MISS THE MAIN BANG (OUT OF 3000 FOR 4000). ENTERED MAIN BANG. AT THIS POINT I REALIZED SEPARATION WAS IN JEOPARDY. I BEGAN ISSUING TFC TO ACFT. (2 OR 3 TIMES, NO RESPONSE). I BELIEVE ACFT WAS OVER MAIN BANG. I PHYSICALLY GOT UP, WENT TO APCH CTLR AND POINTED TO SCOPE WHILE I WAS XMITTING TO TURN R HDG 090. NOW TFC 11 O'CLOCK TURNING WBOUND, YOUR ALT. FINALLY ANSWERED ROGER 'TURNING TFC NOT IN SIGHT.' APCH WAS TURNING ACFT WBOUND BUT WAY TO LATE (SEPARATION WAS MAYBE 1 MI). APCH CTLR WAS MOST DEFINITELY AT FAULT BUT APCH WAS MODERATELY BUSY WITH A SUPVR WHICH WAS CURRENT BUT NOT PROFICIENT AT THE POS.
